Opis

The five stories in In a Glass Darkly reflect a profound and deeply disturbing uncertainty about the nature of humanity and its relationship with spirituality. Originally published separately in magazines, the stories are framed and linked in this collection as cases in the papers of the fictional Dr. Hesselius.
